Walljump Position Helper Macro

[GooeyUse]

I don't know much about what can be done with macros, but I have noticed a problem in raids or BGs.

People will be displayed on the minimap and cover the numbers, is there any way to make this display over top minimap dots?

Oh, and +rep. I use this macro constantly.

I have had the same problem in wsg. All I do is look at the color of the numbers to know what they are.

Change this number to change the y-coordinate.
i am using "-20" to get the display more to the middle of the minimap.


/run local p,f,m,t=Minimap,CreateFrame"Frame"m,t=({p:GetChildren()})[49],
p:CreateFontString(0,0,"SystemFont")t:SetPoint("TOP",0,-9)
f:SetScript("OnUpdate",function()p=m:GetFacing()/PI%.5;t:
SetText(format("124cff%02xbb00%.3f",255*(1-abs(4*p-1)^92),p))end)

/run local p,f,m,t=Minimap,CreateFrame"Frame"m,t=({p:GetChildren()})[49],p:CreateFontString(0,0,"SystemFont")t:SetPoint("TOP",0,-20)f:SetScript("OnUpdate",function()p=m:GetFacing()/PI%.5;t:SetText(format("124cff%02xbb00%.3f",255*(1-abs(4*p-1)^92),p))end)

!!!Attention!!! First delete, then enter new numbers! And not mor than 2 chars. Otherwise you will destroy that macro, because there are 254/255 chars used. So only one additional char is allowed...


ah. and of course +Rep for the macro! i'm using it quite often...

Thanks, Schabbot; that edit will do the trick. The only reason why the text isn't over top of the arrow graphics is because this macro is too big. If I tried adding any more features (like bringing the text over top of arrows), the macro would be quite a bit bigger than the 255 macro character limit.

I could easily write an addon to do what this macro does with lots of simple improvements, however I figured a macro was less of a burden than a full blown addon download on explorers. I'll throw one together and see how big an improvement it makes. Until then, just replace the "-9" with "-20" or so like Schabbot suggested.

Great little change, Schabbot. Fixed my problem.

The problem is that when you guys post it in codeboxes and stuff, the "\" are filtered out, so basically post codes that are sensitive in a pastebin:

(in a clean .txt file format :P)

This is nice, but wow, it would take wayyyyy to long to walljump
by exact angles. Ur better off just doing what i do and learn the limits
and know how to angle your character with each jump.

But like i said, this is nice.

Agreed. But I still find it useful about 50% of time Nice work.
